Design x AI: What's New — Show & Tell #3
It's been a minute. The last time we got together for a Show & Tell was back in April — and in AI-for-design time, that's basically a geological era. So let's reconnect and catch each other up on everything that's dropped since.
Top of the list: Figma Config 2026. A lot landed, and it's worth walking through together — what's actually useful, what's hype, and what's worth changing in your workflow this week.
We'll demo the new stuff live, swap what's working (and what's not), and leave room for questions.
On the table for this session:
Config 2026, unpacked — Code Layers, Figma Motion, AI shader fills & effects, Weave tools for in-canvas image generation, generative plugins, and the upgraded Figma agent (now with connectors + web search)
The newest AI tools and product updates since we last met
Prompting techniques that are actually improving results
Practical workflows for design, research, and product teams
Real-world experiments and the lessons that came with them
Open discussion on what's working right now
Each demo breaks down:
What problem it's solving
The prompts and workflow behind it
The AI tools being used
Key takeaways you can apply immediately
Format: Live demos + Show & Tell + Q&A
Whether you're using AI every day or just keeping an eye on where this is all going, come reconnect with the community, trade notes, and pick up a few things you can use right away.
